New York City International Film Festival – March 5th- March 9th 2018

By Adora Henson

                   Now in its ninth year, the New York City International Film Festival will showcase filmmakers from around the world in three distinctive New York venues: The Directors Guild of America, The Dolby Theater & Screening Room and The Producers Club. Over five days, the NYCIFF will screen 19 short films including one animation, and 13 feature length films.

                            This year’s festival will kick off Monday, March 5th with a red-carpet gala followed by the screening of selected feature, The Girl Who Invented Kissing. Audiences are then invited to a Q&A with the stars and filmmakers.

This will be followed by actor and director Steve Stanulis presenting the world premiere of his documentary project, Wasted Talent, following embattled Bronx Tale star Lillo Brancato, also on March 5th.

 

The NYCIFF will close with a VIP reception and special screening of Keely Shaye Smith and Pierce Brosnan’s Poisoning Paradise, followed by a Q&A with the creators and awards reception honoring actress Natali Yura, with the Rising Star Award, and philanthropist, Jean Shafiroff, with the Philanthropic Award for Art, Culture & Film.

Tickets sales from NYCIFF will benefit the New York International Film Festival’s Foundation for the Arts, established to provide scholarships and opportunities to aspiring filmmakers, directors and performers around the world. The event was founded by Robert Rizzo. Two awards will be given. Natali Yura will receive the Rising Star Award and Jean Shafiroff will receive the Philanthropic Award for Art, Culture & Film.
